SAFETY IS A PLAN

At American Environmental we believe that all accidents are preventable and a zero incident goal is attainable. It’s not about statistics; it’s about people not getting hurt. Our efforts to improve our safety practices are for all of our personnel, all the way from the president to our field employees. We have established a safety culture where all employees go through extensive safety training and are expected to follow our strict safety policies and procedures. Because of our dedication to keeping safe and protecting our employees, we have within the last four years, moved steadily from an EMR rating of 0.99 to a very impressive 0.60. AIR has a systematic approach to health and safety management designed to ensure compliance with the law and to achieve continuous performance improvement.

In our efforts to improve our safety program, we have instituted rigorous safety policies and procedures. American Environmental has added a full-time safety director who spends a vast amount of time and resources to train our employees on numerous safety issues. All employees are required to follow our strict safety policies and procedures.

Our increased emphasis on safety, along with our 0.60 EMR has created an environment where we have become a premier contractor for such companies as Southern California Edison, Honeywell, NRG Power, Shell Oil, Kinder Morgan, Conoco Phillips and many others. Our vision and value statement calls on every employee and contractor working for the company to strive for incident-free operations, and to manage risks and to prevent injuries, illnesses and accidents. Our position on health and safety is clear. It applies to everyone everywhere—whether they are walking down a hallway, in an office or when handling hazardous waste.
